Advocacy

After a sexual assault, one of our crisis counselors will go to the hospital and provide advocacy and emotional support to survivors and their loved ones. We also provide police advocacy for those who want to report an assault.

Connection to Community Resources

Our crisis advocacy center is much more than just a place to talk about how you feel. Our staff members can also assist you and your family in applying for victims compensation, connect you to our court advocacy program or domestic violence shelter, and address your housing needs, food insecurity, employment needs, or more due to sexual or relationship violence.

T.E.A.M. Work

Health Imperative’s T.E.A.M. Work Program is an opportunity for individuals who have experienced domestic or sexual violence to be matched with a volunteer peer mentor who canprovide support in finding resources and tools that will help the survivor to live their best life. The program will match survivors with a compatible peer mentor to support the survivor’s goals around housing, education, employment, financial empowerment, or health & wellness.

Mentors will offer support and encouragement to survivors on a weekly or biweekly basis to ensure the survivor has awareness of and access to resources to assist in their healing process.

We are accepting both applications for volunteer mentors, as well as referrals/intakes for clients!
